Dog Bite Information
In Long Beach, and the entire state of California, the owner of a dog is held to strict standard of liability to protect the safety of anyone who comes into close contact with the animal. The owner can be held liable whether the attack occurred in a public place or even on the owner’s private property, as long as the victim was there lawfully. The owner can also be held liable if the attack occurs while the dog is in the care of someone else, such as a dog walker or a kennel.
An owner may not be found liable for the injuries if the animal was provoked, or if the victim was trespassing on private property or committing some other criminal act on the owner’s property. There are special circumstances when children are involved.
